Add garlic, ginger, lemongrass, green onion, and salt. Sauté and stir another 5 minutes. Add chicken stock. Put lid on cook on high pressure for 5 minutes.

Let off pressure when done and turn the sauté mode back on. Add the can of coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Stir everything together and reduce liquid slightly.

Use an immersion blender to process the sauce in the instant pot until smooth, then continue reducing the sauce until it almost coats the back of a spoon.
